Have you set a passwordless SSH key?

It might be a 'sudo user' thing. Apparently, there can be a difference between the user logging in and the user running the 'sudo' command.

e.g.

user1 --> ssh --> server --> then --> sudo as 'user2' --> command


Yes, it should pick up who you are "logging in as" as be "that person".

However,just to be absolutely sure try...

ssh -v -t administrator at 10.0.100.38 'sudo -u administrator uptime'
